The Skye Steersman'S Song. Par REINSHAGEN FRANK. Song from the Hebrides. Compatible with clarinet and saxophone editions. Medium Writing these arrangements, Frank Reinshagen has created little masterpieces, which broaden the rhythmical and harmonic context of the original tunes in an interesting manner without detracting from their archaic and melancholic character. These original tunes are - in a direct or wider sense - of 'Celtic origin', in other words, they have been borrowed from the Irish, Scottish and Gaelic musical tradition.These through-composed arrangements are rather easy to perform from the rhythmical and technical point of view. Yet, they are quite demanding in respect of the key they are written in, their intonation and, especially, their interpretation. Their different instrumentations are fully compatible with each other and, due to their overall structure, they are also suitable to be played with multi-scored parts. Annotation on 'S mo lamh air a stiuir: The interpretation of 'S mo lamh air a stiuir - the song of a helmsman living on the Isle of Skye - should be interpreted with the musicians paying careful attention to its dynamics and phrasing, which reflect the up-and-down motion of the stormy Artic Ocean. For this arrangement the key D minor - which is one whole tone lower than the original - has been chosen to make sure that the piece is playable, especially for a clarinet quartet./ Répertoire / Quatuor de Cuivres

German composer Wilhelm Ramsøe (1837-1895) is best remembered for his compositions for brass. His Quartet No.4 for Cornet Trumpet Trombone or Horn and Baritone is no exception. As one of five brass quartets by the composer Quartet No. 4 remains prominent in the brass ensemble repertoire. Made up of three movements each part contains a variety of exciting musical features. The movements are 1) Allegro Moderato 2) Marcia Funebre and 3) Scherzo all of which contain edits by Robert King. For all intermediate to advanced brass ensembles Ramsöe's Quartet No. 4 is asublime addition to the repertoire.

3 Original Pieces for Brass Quartet. Three works with quotations from well-known composers are contained in this tongue-in-cheek collection. Otto M. Schwarz has produced an outstanding recording of these works with members of the Slovak Philharmonic, which is available on all streaming and download platforms. 1. THE AMADEUS WATCH: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?s own watch ? if he had one ? ticks away. The ticking carries us back in time with a piece that stylistically imitates the music of the 18th century in melody, harmony and rhythm. 2. COMPOSERS DINNER IN HEAVEN: At the music publisher De Haske, a composers? dinner was an integral part of trade fairs or meetings. The dinner was very popular among anyone who sat at it, not least of all because it offered one the opportunity to chat informally.? Based on such a meeting, Otto M. Schwarz has a composed a work that describes an imaginary dinner of great classical masters on a cloud in the sky. Guess which composers are present by the references in the form of musical quotations and stylistic devices! 3. SCHERZO FOR BRASS QUARTET: The work, in 12/8 time, moves in a rapid furioso. Underscored by a continues eighth note rhythm, the work creates in the listener the sensation of a frantic rollercoaster ride. The theme moves throughout all the parts and, following a chromatically moving chord sequence, ends in a dramatic crescendo.

Transcribed by popular brass arranger Robert King this edition of Giovanni Gabrieli's Canzona Per Sonare No. 4 from 'Canzoni per sonare con ogni sorte di stromenti' provides an exciting performance piece for a large Brass Ensemble. Being one of the most influential musicians during the shift from the Renaissance to the Baroque era it is no secret that the composer leant himself primarily to vocal and sacred works. However his Canzona Per Sonare No. 4 represents an important turn not only in the composer's career but in musical history. Composed in 1608 this piece helped pave the way to what would soon becomethe new Baroque concerto style which remains popular to this day. King's arrangement of this historical work is indispensable for Brass Ensembles.
